A wall fountain adds beauty and relaxed atmosphere in any position. The constant sound of the waterfall is very relaxing. The installation of a work does not need so much, but we must consider how the various components fit together before construction begins.
The tools needed are a drill, screws, screwdrivers, pipes, cables, and the well (Note: this project is not a mirror or glass wall fountains)
The main components are: a mask, a swimming pool with integrated pump, anda decorative device or rosette. The fountain works as follows.
1). First, the water in the basin and is pumped into the mask.
2). The water flows through the nozzle or rosette the first mask as a small stream in the basin or a series of reservoirs and dates back to the tank where the pump is.
3). The pump in the tank pumps the water back into the mask and the cycle repeats.
Once the place where the wall would stand had been elected, try tofigure out the ways in which the plumbing and electric wires would not show off. This is necessary if the basin is a separate part from the fountain. If there is no access to the back of the wall the best alternative is to run the plumbing and electric wires up the inside of the wall.
In the case of a brick wall or concrete, make a cavity by removing some bricks or concrete from the wall making a room for the tube. The height of this cavity must be from the bottom of the basin to the overflow of the mask. A larger tube must be used to fit-in a smaller tube for the circulating water.
Again another cavity is needed for a tube where electric wires would run. Restore the wall to its former look as much as possible. It would not be appropriate if you have constructed a wall fountain nicely but have made the wall behind it ugly.
The task would be easier if the wall is accessible at the back and you can follow these steps.
1.) Drill a 1st hole through the wall at the position of the mask.
2.) Drill a 2nd hole at the bottom behind the position of the basin.
3.) Staying in front of the wall drop a string through the 1st hole to the back of the wall, and pull it toward the front wall passing through the 2nd hole at the bottom.
4.) Tie a string to a tube of an appropriate size.
5.) Now go to the back of the wall, pull the string up through the 1st hole returning the string to the front passing through the 2nd hole at the The bottom.
6). Be sufficient for the exhaust pipe (mask, rosette or output) must be considered. They reached the excess is cut to exact length.
7). Drill a hole for the wiring for the jack just enough to pass through it. There's no sweat to make it through the wall to be connected to an outlet.
8). After the holes and pipes have been set, now is the time to connect the water hose to the pump in the tank.
9). If you hang the wall fountain on the wall,see to it that the hardware used is strong enough to support 50 lbs. weight.
10.) All you need is to supply the water, plug it in and you have a running Wall Fountain!
Make sure that too much water isn't' going out of the basin because of splashing. The overflow must be close enough to the basin to prevent water from draining. This may cause damage to the pump. Use the flow adjustment feature of the pump to regulate the flow of water in your wall fountain.
Regular cleaning is always a must to extend the life of the pump. Changing water regularly would prevent dirt and bacteria build-up.
